My current 2005 coupe is my first and only Corvette. I ordered it from the factory when I was 53.

First and only Vette and I bought it two months ago. I am 30.....
Never thought I'd buy one because I never cared for the interior but when this one was offered at such a ridiculous price I couldn't turn it down. Now I wonder why I waited so long, the last thing I ever think about is the interior.

My first was 2 years ago @ 46...and although it's still costin' me, I have had more fun with this car than any car that I have owned. I was looking for an older Viper, then I drove this '05 C6 Lingenfelter
